A lip scrub should be in the arsenal of any girl who takes care of herself. Its application makes the lips smooth, soft and moisturized, giving them a well-groomed and attractive look. He helps:
- heal peeling and cracks;
- remove the stratum corneum;
- speed up the removal of the permanent (if you no longer like it);
- induce blood flow for juiciness and swelling.
The main thing is not to overdo it: the skin of the lips is 3-4 times thinner than the rest. In addition, she is completely devoid of sebaceous glands and hair. It can be said that lips are defenseless against cold, wind and sun – therefore they need special care. Scrub along with nourishing balm/oil maintains a healthy appearance. For you, a selection of the best beauty products in our opinion!

1. SpivacЪ Bergamot Lip Scrub
In the role of scrubbing particles here are natural strawberry pits. Thanks to them, the product from Spivak actively affects peeling, eliminating them. Orange and bergamot oils help heal cracks. In general, the scrub stimulates the production of collagen (increases skin elasticity), suitable for budget anti-age care.
The product is in a transparent plastic jar. Pluses – you can always see the rest. Cons – picking up the mixture with your fingers is unhygienic. Buyers warn in reviews that you will have to tinker: the mixture is not easy to wash off, you will need special tools. The attitude towards the smell is ambiguous, the “male” notes of bergamot are embarrassing – but someone likes such richness.

How to choose a lip scrub
Lip scrub is not as easy to choose as it seems. The reason is the composition, due to which allergies are possible. Many scrubs are based on honey and essential oils, which are not suitable for everyone. Be sure to read the label before buying, we will not get tired of repeating! Otherwise, the choice is simple:
- therapeutic effect (vitamin E in the composition will save from dry skin);
- ease of application (sticks are more hygienic than jars in which you need to dip your fingers);
- ease of care (some scrubs require rinsing with cosmetic milk due to the insoluble abrasive).
The skin of the lips is very delicate – to minimize the risk of injury, wet your face with warm water before the procedure. If you want to massage your lips with a scrub, do not overdo it – 30-60 seconds is enough. After the procedure, it is better to apply a balm; the stratum corneum is removed, the skin needs nourishment and protection more than ever. You can repeat the scrub after a week (too much use will upset the balance). And do not forget about the expiration date of the product: for brands it is indicated on the packaging, home remedies are stored in the refrigerator for a maximum of 3 weeks.
Pros and cons of DIY scrubs
Lip scrub at home is simple and inexpensive. But, like every beauty product, there are advantages and disadvantages:
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| • 100% natural composition (you know what you are putting in); | • not stored for long and only in the refrigerator (3 weeks, then you need to make a new one); |
| • inexpensive price (all ingredients are at hand at home); | • not everyone likes to mess around in the kitchen; |
| • many cooking options (you won’t get tired of such a variety); | • only a jar as packaging (not quite a hygienic method of application). |
Use purchased cosmetics or cook your own, everyone decides for herself. In any case, a lip scrub is essential for a well-groomed look.
